I'm planning on buying a bike in the UK for a quick lap around Syria and the Black Sea. Can I leagally sell it in Germany on the way back? I may not be going back to London.
I'm assuming that the ownership will not be noted in my passport as a carnet is not required for Germany, so, plan B may be to remove the number plate and leave it at the airport.

Obviously, I'd rather sell it, even though it won't be worth much.

your advice please.

Could you not buy the bike in Germany instead of England as -
a) England isn't far away and
b) It will make selling the bike easier.
I don't know about selling a UK bike in Germany but trying to sell a UK bike in France would not be easy as they have to be re-registered which is a right pain in the bottom.
Good luck.

Hi there, there is absolute no reason NOT to sale nor register any vehicle that is previously registered in any of the EU country to any other EU country. It's rather easy. as long you carry and hand over the V5 with the bike and make a contract some how it is no problem to get any vehicle legally registered, there would be absolute no problems... well check that the chassis-no of the bike match up with the V5 and all the rest of it otherwise the German TUV gets stupid-solid.... I had my bike registered in the UK first, moved over to Germany and had only a bit hassle with the German TUV... but thats S.N.A.F.U. as usually..... the chassis-no had a "8" in the V5 but the bike had a "B" stamped in the frame.... well it's sorted now.... Before that I had a Land Rover right from the MOD, registered on Germany plates, moved and transfered to UK plates, soled it back to Germany... the new owner is running on German plates again. List to do for the new owner in Germany: 1. the V5 2. the contract, (neutral form out of any pater shop) private-to-private contract cost a quit. after the sale: 3. show up at the German TUV to make a tech-road-test with CO test. may the tyres need changing, may the head lights as well. the test will cost about 100-Euros and called "Erstabnahme" for the registration office: call "Kraftfahrts-Bundesamt" in Flensburg tel: 0461-3160 and ask to send the paper called "Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigungen" thats a confirmation that the bike was never registered in Germany or stolen, cost 20-Euro and is valuable for 1-month, the vehicle has to be registered in that period or the new owner has to ask and pay for that stupid paper again. 4. the so called "red Doppelkarte" from any insurance company. 5. any way the new owner has to take all paperers to the German registration office "Strassenverkehrsamt" of his or here local place: this papers are needed: the V5 the sales contract the TUV cetifikate the the red Doppelkarte the Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung money... about 100 Euros the Registration office will keep the original V5 for there records and hand over the German "KFZ-Brief" and the "KFZ-Schein", the KFZ-Brief" is the replacement for the V5, the "KFZ-Schein" needs to be carried at all time with the vehicle. if every thing goes smooth, they will ask to buy the new local reg-no. he than has to get the plates made up, join the jam again, get the plates stamped up and bolt it to the bike... thats it. hope this description will help.... any way this procedure will apply to any German how buys any vehicle from any EU-country to get it legally registered in Germany. have fun...
